ESPN -- Washington Redskins defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth
was charged Tuesday with misdemeanor sexual abuse for allegedly
fondling the breast of his server in a hotel restaurant in Washington.
A
grand jury returned an indictment formally charging Haynesworth over
the alleged incident at a downtown Washington hotel in the early hours
of Feb. 13. If convicted, the 29-year-old two-time All-Pro faces up to
six months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.
According to the U.S. attorney's office, the government's evidence
shows Haynesworth slid a credit card down the front of the server's
dress and fondled her breast.
Haynesworth's attorney, A. Scott
Bolden, called the charge disappointing and regretful and said it would
be a difficult case for the government to prove. Haynesworth is innocent
and several witnesses would vouch that the alleged conduct never
happened, Bolden said.
"We maintain his innocence, and now the fight begins," Bolden said.
Telephone
and e-mail messages left for Haynesworth's agent, Chad Speck, were not
immediately returned. Redskins spokesman Tony Wyllie said the team
referred all calls to Haynesworth and his agent.
Haynesworth is
also currently facing charges in Virginia for allegedly punching a man
during a road-rage assault. His trial is scheduled for May. At one point
last summer, he was also involved in lawsuits from a bank, an exotic
dancer, a man injured in an automobile accident and complaints from his
ex-wife that he wasn't paying for her health insurance or their
children's bills.
Haynesworth's attorney is an idiot. I'm sure plenty of people at the hotel were starring at Fat Albert the whole time he was there. On top of that nobody wants this worthless piece of shit on their team anyway so I'm sure they will all be willing to testify against him. This dude breaks laws and harass' people like it's his fucking job, lock his ass up please.
